City planners showed respect for a 190-year-old historic home Wednesday by deferring a vote on rezoning property at Lebanon Pike and Cherry Lane to a commercial highway designation.

Project Engineer Bill Huddleston offered to go beyond the city's buffering requirement with a 50-foot buffer of trees that will be written into deed restrictions for any future developer. He also said the deed will stipulate that tattoo parlors, pawn shops and liquor stores will not be able to use the property that's across the street from the Siegel Soccer Park.
